The seller of today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe VW says it’s one of only nine Passats in the U.S. with its drivetrain. You’d think if it’s that rare it’d have been left alone but instead it’s been lightly modded for your viewing pleasure. Let’s see if its price needs a mod too.

The industry term was called “downsizing,” but all it referred to was making engines smaller to use less gas, and then turbocharging them to make up for lost power. It’s the trend automakers have been pushing over the last decade, and it was supposed to be what saved the ordinary internal combustion engine. It was a…

Volkswagen’s head of design, Klaus Bischoff, recently claimed that autonomous cars would be the beginning of the end of the current SUV and crossover trend, according to AutoExpress. It’s a surprising statement to be made this early in the autonomous evolution, and he just might be wrong.

One benefit to being the second-largest automaker in the world is that you have a lot of money, and having a lot of money comes in handy when you have to pay your problems away. And where there are problems and money, there are lawyers.

Concept cars are supposed to be fun and exciting design studies, unconstrained by annoying things like laws or focus groups or physics. They can fly! They can be powered by nuclear reactors! Or they can just be the 1997 Volkswagen Coupe Design Study CJ.

On September 18, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that using an illegal “defeat device,” Volkswagen’s diesel engines were emitting far more pollution than is legally allowable under federal and state regulations. A year later, few things are resolved. Here’s what owners of these cheating cars…

Normally, when you think about a body kit for a car, the goal usually seems to be seeing just how many plastic fake vents you can cram on a given vehicle, or how you can half-assedly make it look like something exotic. But it doesn’t have to be that way! A reader sent in pictures from Peru of a Beetle with a body kit…

The German state of Bavaria said today that it will sue Volkswagen for state pension fund damages caused by the diesel emissions scandal that came to light last September, making it the first regional government in Germany to try and bring the automaker to court.

Volkswagen’s Dieselgate settlement with American owners of its cheaty diesel cars will cost the company more than $15 billion, or five billion dollars more than was originally reported, according to Bloomberg. More than $10 billion of that is slated just to go to Volkswagen owners.

If you are one of nearly half a million Americans with diesel Volkswagen, you may be entitled to up to $7,000 in cash straight from VW, as Automotive News reports. As for how you get your grubby hands on your money, well, that might not be so simple.

Former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn may no longer sit at the top of the corporate hierarchy, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of trouble when it comes to Dieselgate. Germany’s financial regulators now want to know if he waited too long to publicize VW’s emissions cheatery.

Available starting August 1 for $100, Lego’s new Volkswagen Beetle isn’t as large or complex as its Porsche 911 GT3 RS. But the company’s designers have worked hard to perfectly recreate the curves and contours of the car that help defined the ‘60s, even introducing new pieces to help replicate the Beetle’s iconic…

If you’ve ever dreamed of a project car, but for whatever reason haven’t had the resources to get one off the ground, this may be your lucky day. Because I’ve apparently lost my mind, I’m about to give away a Volkswagen Jetta with a VR6 engine that you can modify in any insane way you want.

Two questions stood out immediately as Volkswagen got torn apart in their Dieselgate scandal: why was this European carmaker under fire in America, and why weren’t other carmakers implicated as well? One small loophole might be the answer.

The Dieselgate scandal over software and defeat devices designed to cheat emissions regulations on over eleven million diesel Volkswagen cars around the world is a never-ending saga, with a new report suggesting that the company held a presentation designed by executives outlining a plan to cheat on emissions tests…

The gas plug-in T-Prime GTE Concept follows the diesel plug-in CrossBlue Concept as Volkswagen is getting ready to launch its full-sized three-row hybrid SUV. This time, we’re looking at a combined output of 375 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with an electric range of 31 miles. Can it make SUV-crazed Americans…

Yesterday we reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of an agreement with the U.S. government on how to fix their 600,000 polluting diesel vehicles. Now reports are trickling in with results of the court hearing, and it seems that VW and the Feds have finally reached a consensus.
